Main Ingredients- 100g dried shredded squid (jinmi-chae)
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2/3 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of dried parsley flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 100g of dried shredded squid. Gently rinse it 3-4 times in lukewarm water to remove any impurities. It’s important to drain the water completely using a sieve afterwards. Then, cut the squid into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm) using scissors or a knife. This step helps to make the squid more tender.
Step 2
Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and microwave for about 50 seconds until it’s softened and melted. Be careful not to overheat, as it can burn.
Step 3
Add 2/3 tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of dried parsley flakes to the melted butter. Stir well with a spoon or fork to create a flavorful butter sauce. Continue stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 4
Pour the prepared butter sauce over the dried shredded squid. Use chopsticks to gently toss the squid, ensuring that each strand is evenly coated with the butter sauce. This seasoning step will make the squid even more delicious.
Step 5
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned dried shredded squid evenly in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd it. Evenly distributing the squid is key to achieving a crispy texture.
Step 6
Preheat your air fryer to 170°C (338°F). Place the dried shredded squid inside and cook for 3-4 minutes. Air fryer models can vary, so keep an eye on it to prevent burning. The squid cooks quickly, so 3-4 minutes is usually sufficient for crispiness. Adjust the time based on its color.
Step 7
Your delicious butter-roasted dried shredded squid is ready! It’s chewy and buttery when warm, and becomes slightly crispier as it cools. Enjoy it immediately, or let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container for later.
